Fun Factory wants you to Share, and I agree, though you might enjoy it by yourself as well.

Fun Factory is a tried-and-true brand, and I was excited about receiving my first toy from them, the Share. Made from beautiful, silky-smooth silicone and available in a variety of vivid colors, it is a stunning pleasure object to be enjoyed by all the senses. Its two ends provide unique stimulation, and it is great for both giving and receiving pleasure.

Pros:

Full silicone construction, comes in beautiful colors, unique design.

Cons:

The bulbous end may be a little too large for some women to comfortably use, and it is very heavy.

The Share is a great toy to use both solo and with a partner. Its two ends give very different but equally pleasurable feelings, and both should definitely be experimented with. The giver (the person using the bulbous end) needs to be prepared either to use a lot of lube or to take a little while to insert the toy if her vagina is on the small side. Also, if you are planning on using this without a harness, some good Kegel strength may be required.

Share is made from 100% medical-grade, non-porous, and phthalate-free silicone that is velvety soft to the touch and completely safe for your body. 100% silicone cannot absorb microbes, making this an easy-to-clean and very hygienic toy. This is a very plush silicone. It will bend and yield to pressure while still having enough solidity to be firm where it counts.

Perhaps one of the most intriguing aspects of this dildo is its unique shape. Both ends are insertable and are designed to be used together. The giver has a bulbous, bean-shaped end that is meant to be inserted into the vagina. This end features an insertable curve that rubs against the G-spot while also somewhat securing itself beneath the pubic bone. I found this end to be slightly larger than expected with a girth of 5 ½”, and I needed quite a bit of lube to insert it comfortably. Between the two ends is a ridge that nicely rubs against the giver’s clitoris and labia during use. The longer dildo is meant to easily be controlled and maneuvered into the receiving male or female partner. It features a flared head and ridged sides. Its girth tapers from 5” to 5 ¾” at the base.

This dildo has quite a bit of heft to it at 1.5 pounds, and while some women may have the Kegel strength to comfortably use this without a harness, I do not. I recommend using an O-ring harness with which this is compatible. I did find that with my legs close together, I could comfortably stand with the toy inserted, but I definitely could not walk with it. You may also be able to attribute this to the amount of lube required to put in the toy.

As mentioned above, the Share is quite heavy, so I recommend either keeping a hand on the dildo or using a harness. This toy is a lot of fun, and I found that solo play was just as enjoyable as with a friend. When I first got it, I had a lot of fun just caressing the toy. The first time I played with it, I inserted the bean-shaped end and jacked off the longer dildo. Later, I added a clitoral vibrator while continuing to stroke the longer dildo and came to full orgasm by way of simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation. The receiver’s end is also quite enjoyable and is much the same as any other natural dildo of similar length.

Because the Share is waterproof, it can be easily cleaned by washing with antibacterial soap and warm water. This will provide a good day-to-day cleaning for your toy, but more intensive and thorough sanitation can be achieved by wiping your dildo down with a 10% bleach solution or a sanitizing toy wipe. As mentioned above, silicone cannot absorb bacteria, so a thorough cleaning of its surface should leave your toy safe, sanitary, and ready to play with. This item is also safe to be washed and sanitized via the top rack of your dishwasher, and you can boil it for five minutes to achieve the same result.

Silicone is not compatible with silicone lubes, so you should stick to oil or water-based lubricants when playing with your Share. Do not store it openly with non-100% silicone toys: jelly, rubber, TPR/TPE, and other soft materials can be warped, misshaped, or even melted by silicone stored at close range. Keep Share in the Fun Factory box, a plastic Ziploc bag, or a lint-free storage pouch to prevent it from negatively affecting the toys around it!

The toy comes in a neat little box with a view window on the front. It has a cover with a small magnet that you can open to see the toy more clearly through the packaging. When you open the box, it slides out in a nice little tray with the toy prominently displayed on top. Underneath it is a small compartment that includes a couple of water-based lube samples as well as the instruction manual. The only negative thing I have to say about the packaging is about the manual, actually. Fun Factory has a standard manual written in several languages that gives a broad overview of all of their toys. The tray is a nice thing to keep for storage, but it will not make the toy discreet.

This is definitely a great toy for couples interested in gender play or for female-female couples. I like this toy a lot, and the only reason it gets four instead of five stars is due to the heft of the toy which makes it hard to use without a harness.
